Depwe Cemetery

Coming off Int.10 heading east, take the 16th. street and turn right on 16th.street. Cross the 16th. street and Park street intersection and the cemetery is behind the "Oil Can" business. This cemetery has a lot more burials but you have to look real close to see it and they don't have any markers. Joe McClelland is the keeper of this cemetery and is asking family and friends of those buried here for help with cleaning or donations to apply toward maintenance. You can call him at 409-886-3582 and please be sure to mention my name. Transcribed 13 Apr 1999 by Judy A. Allen.
This cemetery is still being used for burials and updates will continue.
